The Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmias between Alcohol Septal Ablation and Septal Myectomy in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Meta-Analysis on Septal Reduction Therapy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has been more commonly applied in medical refractory hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) compared with septal myectomy (SM), however its potential to create a proarrhythmic substrate is increased. Methods: A systematic search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to October 2020. Fixed or random effects models were used to estimate the risk ratios (RR) for ventricular arrhythmia events or other outcomes between the SM and ASA cohorts. Results: Twenty studies with 8025 patients were included. Pool analysis showed that the incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ventricular fibrillation (VF), which included appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) intervention, was significantly higher in the ASA cohort than that in the SM cohort (ASA Conclusions: In patients with HOCM, those who received ASA showed a higher incidence of VF/VT and SCD combined with resuscitated SCA. The majority of VT/VF occurred in the early phase.
